Psst! although popping it open did remove some pressure and would help with the pain. The fact that it was already infected combined with that it is now open to the air could very easily cause the infection to get much worse if it is not cleaned and dressed properly.
Last thing you want is for it to get more infected and potentially hop to your blood supply. When that happens you go downhill very damn fast and well could die if it gets serious.
I would guess the puss you currently squeezed out was just infected cells, mostly just run of the mill puss and white blood cell material with a little bit of regular blood mixed in.
Regardless if you do squeeze everything out, you will end up with a pocket beneath your skin that is a mixture of moist and warm which is the ideal breeding ground for a whole wide range of potential infections.
Lastly starting and prematurely stopping your antibiotics really only helps the infection. The antibiotics were just starting to do their job and by stopping them you give the infection the ability to become immune to that antibiotic or group of antibiotics. Which would really suck if you were prescribed one of the heavy hitting antibiotics.
